Front of 2007 Christmas Cards from Courteney Cox and David Arquette featuring their daugther, Coco

With all the celebrity that surrounds them, it seems like Courteney Cox and David Arquette are well grounded in reality. They both have their own public careers but go out of their way to make sure that Coco is the most important part of their lives. They showed this publically by featuring Coco’s picture on their 2007 Christmas cards. Their Christmas cards featured laughing picture of Coco on the outside with “Joy to the World” as the verbiage. She was again pictured on the inside of the card lying peacefully on their family pet, Ella, a Bernese Mountain Dog. The words “and a peaceful New Year” accompanied this picture. Each Christmas card was signed “love, David, Courteney and Coco.”

Given the state of Hollywood in general, it is a breath of fresh air to read that a couple puts their family above their careers. Coco is lucky to have parents that realize their parenting is an important job. Having a child was a bit arduous for Courteney. In her own words, she wishes that she had started earlier than she did. Many Americans tend to put off having children until they are settled or achieve the status for which they strive. The time they miss can put them in an awkward situation when they realize that time is passing and they want a family. Time does not always wait and sometimes they will be disappointed at the outcome. I know that they truly want another child and I hope that all goes well for them. They are good parents who are striving to have a normal family life.  Courteney experienced the failed marriage of her own parents. She considers making her marriage to David work both for them, Coco, and any other child they are blessed with a priority in her life. She saw her close friend, Jennifer Anniston, go through a divorce so she realizes the scars divorce can leave on a person.

Courteney’s recent flick, Bedtime Stories, is perfect for her as she can view the film with her daughter.
Apparently, Coco enjoys bedtime stories so this film will fit in to their family life. It must be something to see Coco’s face when she sees her Mom on the reruns of her TV show Friends and her Dad when they air the shows that he appeared on. I have never seen it but I understand that David and Courteney also have a DYI show that airs in California.

I sincerely hope that this family will succeed and I look forward to seeing their 2009 Christmas cards.
